Chapter 50

After discussing with him, Zhang San tossed the painting to the monkey. Even though Zhang Zeduan’s artwork would be highly valued in later generations, he couldn’t sell it now, nor could he wait for its worth to rise. So Zhang San simply regarded it as just a painting.

The abandoned tent was actually quite new, with only one supporting leg broken. Zhou You didn’t need the tent to be very tall; it just had to shield the Wandering Heavenly Troupe from wind and rain.

“That’s obvious,” Chen Mingtong said calmly. “After all, it’s my toy. As its owner, even though it’s broken, a little ‘fixing up’ can still make it a decent doll.” Her words sent chills down Tokisaki Kurumi’s spine.

After threatening everyone in the command cabin with his gun, Comrade Honda triumphantly holstered his pistol and turned his gaze back to the projection screen. He was determined to discover the meaning behind his uncle’s last words before his death.

From the start, Zhang San planned to bring these copper coins to the island for circulation. In the future, he needed to transport more copper coins until he could establish his own copper mine and mint his own currency. Until then, he had to accumulate enough copper coins to inject into the economy.

There’s a saying: love is precious, but money holds even higher value. Yet when life is at stake, both can be abandoned. Chen Yi was such a man—no matter how much money there was, he would never trade his life for it. Great figures have also said that the body is the capital of revolution; as long as the capital remains, there’s always a chance to rise again.

The young man’s voice trembled with anger. Clenching his fists tightly, Hao Yu’s eyes reddened as he stared at the projected images and grit his teeth, giving orders to the Undying.

“Hmph! I spit on that!” Lady Feng flung a disdainful spit, glared fiercely at Feng Qingyi, and was then escorted away by servants.

Yi Han was about to respond to his companion’s telepathic message when he suddenly sensed something and reacted immediately. Yet it was too late—two powerful forces struck his back in quick succession, sending the middle-aged man flying backward, coughing blood and gravely wounded.

Don’t think that replica guns lack lethality; their damage at close range is absolutely greater than that of the poorly made replica Type 64 rifles.

“Hmph, Yu You, I thought you found some formidable ally to back you up, but it turns out you’re just a freeloader,” Yu Wei sneered.

Afraid she might get angry if she found out, since his sister no longer liked him, he didn’t want to provoke her anymore.

Having visited the farthest two households, they headed back toward the county seat, arriving at the residence of the Zhong family in Changshe. Zhong Hao, one of the “Four Elders of Yingchuan,” had passed away. Now the family was led by his sons Zhong Di and Zhong Shu, both of whom deeply resented eunuchs.

Ye Miao was speechless. Just by looking at his actions, she knew he was probably gazing at something unspeakable again.

Li Jiayu was somewhat dazed, recalling how she had chased Ge Fei to the airport for thirty or forty minutes. During that time, Duan Weiqi helped her research, distill key points, and analyze data. With his support, she charged straight up to Ge Fei.

Watching the warm water in the basin ripple gently as it washed the blood from the child’s body, Su Yi’s hands trembled slightly, struggling not to clench her fists.

That said, Ou Yan obediently sent the address to Ou Ting, then sat upright, patiently awaiting the arrival of the retired emperor.

He felt a bit embarrassed... The student was studying diligently, but the teacher had fallen asleep—what was going on?

The man met Situ Yan’s gaze and felt a jolt in his heart, suddenly remembering that His Highness never allowed anyone close, let alone touch his body.

The Chen family had maintained a clean reputation for generations. Unexpectedly, one day he looked in the wrong direction. He detested Wei Zhuo and didn’t want to speak much to him.

This time, the transformation process was different from before! As is well known, whether it’s the Void or ghost tales, they can be classified as “informational lifeforms,” essentially similar to digital monsters—lifeforms composed of vast amounts of information.

The remains of the “Fire Chaser” were torn apart by the black hole’s gravity, then rubbed at high speed within the accretion disk, releasing a massive amount of energy outward.

Whether it was Huo Wuxing or the young man from the Ye family wielding an ancient spear, both were top contenders fiercely competing for the position, possessing immense power.

“Maybe, Brother Xiao really can do it!” Zhao Xier bit her lip, though she was puzzled why Chen Xiao would say such a thing.

“What? A real fiancé?” Gong Yanhong and the others all turned to look behind her in unison.

“Who wants to break my formation?” Lin Aotian carried a roasted chicken, a roast duck, and three pounds of Huadiao beef. He had gone out partly to search for an invitation jade token to the Yongtu Peak secret realm, and partly to buy food. Su Mei had already been so hungry her chest was pressed against her back.

“Lingxi!” Chen Xiao hurriedly picked her up, laid her on the sofa, and checked her pulse with three fingers to assess his sister’s condition.

Although stripped of his equipment, the cards hidden in his body still ensured he had a chance to escape alive.

The drone hadn’t yet retracted when it suddenly lost connection as if its wire had been cut. From space, the planet below no longer showed a normal appearance, only a vast expanse of purple.

Sun Jun had heard of this method during provincial department training—many suspects committed crimes via games or live streams—but this was the first time he encountered it personally.

After a short while, two bowls of chicken soup were placed on the stone table. She busied herself again, preparing to light a fire and roast fish.

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan immediately thought of Xiao Hongyuan, whom she had met today. But Xiao Hongyuan was never easy to fool; he might already have sensed the connection between her side and the Root Prefect.

After Dantai Chi went mad, one day he went out alone. Unconsciously, he reached the foot of a cliff—the base of Cangqiong Mountain near the Yunding Kingdom.

One dish was seasonal vegetables with sizzling spring bamboo shoots, pre-marinated and briefly blanched before serving. Heated with special flavored oil poured over the surface, the temperature and timing were precisely controlled so that the dish still crackled slightly when presented. The aroma of hot oil and the crisp, refreshing taste upon biting were delightful.

Spreading both hands wide, he fully unleashed the sword vein. Layers of sword energy radiated outward, suppressing countless battle swords.

Feng Xueyi was caught off guard and knocked to the ground by Ye Guifu, who frantically pummeled him with both fists.

In a state of stress, Zhang Erhe’s fists were already stained with blood. Song Tiejun lay limp on the ground, his nose already broken.

“I will have others inquire about this matter. We owe Classmate Jiang Yu an explanation,” Principal Chen replied solemnly.
